Rod McDonald ‘Trademark’ Chardonnay is a fruity, complex white wine with a beautifully toasty character on the palate.
Rod McDonald is a cult winemaker in New Zealand. He has been making wine in Hawke’s Bay since 1993 and is committed to producing wines as fine as possible from a wide range of varieties and styles.
Perfectly ripe fruit with a taut acidity and moderate brix carried a lusciously flavoured grape, lemon, melon, nectarine all there and intermingled. It was planted on an old river terrace 35kms inland and grown carefully to extend hang time and allow slow ripening before harvesting by hand.
Producers pressed and ran the wine, aging it in French oak barriques for a wild ferment. It then enjoyed a further rest through the cool winter temperatures. It was then allowed to warm in spring for a natural malolactic conversion and settled before bottling in March, 2016.
This is a wine with future complexity at its heart. Struck stone and flint on the nose with lemon curd, stone fruit and a layered lees influence. Supple and seamless with a smooth and lingering finish.
Enjoy Rod McDonald ‘Trademark’ Chardonnay with a rich grilled chicken or pork dish.
